University judicial to begin ‘crackdown’ on regulations violators
BY PETER BOYER
Staff Writer
The University Judicial Council has initiated a policy of vigorous use of its power to punish violators of university regulations.
Bill Mitchell, Chief Justice ofthe council and a junior in business, said that the council is going to begin cracking down on students who flagrantly violate university regulations, in the hope of discouraging “students who, just because they are students at USC, think they can get away with anything.”
Mitchell said that the most frequent violations involve theft and destruction of property.
“For example, we’ve just adjudicated two cases in which students were driving on the lawns at Alumni Park,” he said.
“It sounds like a silly thing to get excited about, but those are expensive lawns, and damage can run up to $200. If the students are aware that we’re going to start making them pay for the damages, maybe they’ll think twice.”
And the council apparently can make it pretty uncom-
fortable for a student who refuses to comply with university regulations.
Mitchell said that an example of how tough a judicial decision can be was illustrated by the case of two undergraduates who stole some chairs from Harris Plaza residence hall last month.
“When the two guys were caught and brought before this council, the thought it was a big joke, because we are all just students. They laughed and explained that they were ‘just relocating the chairs.’
“Well, now those guys can neither live in a dormitory, join a fraternity, nor become involved in any university-supported social activity. They’ve lost all privileges.” Mitchell said that the new vengeance with which the judicial council is meting out its decisions was in no way instigated by the university administrators.
“We’re trying to show students that the way we can work for them most effectively is by being responsible ourselves. What we are doing we are doing on our own, and Dean Mannes (dean for student life) is our administrative arm," he said.
“Students are going to learn quickly that they are not above the law.”

4 Vietnamese refugees to be housed on campus

A refugee Vietnamese family of four from Saigon will be temporarily accommodated in university housing facilities before being relocated, said several university officials.
The four were expected Monday, but have not yet arrived. They will occupy two apartments in the Married Student Housing complex.
The accommodations were arranged after a 1965 graduate of the university asked Chancellor Norman Topping for the univeristy’s assistance. The graduate. Alan Wondra. met the family while he served in the infantry’s civil affairs division in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968
The family—father, mother, daughter and teen-aged son—was one of the first to fly out of Vietnam, Topping said.
The daughter, 26, worked with the U.S. Embassy in Saigon and is fluent in English, said Jerry E. Wulk, executive director of the Office for International Students and Scholars.
Wondra said he has known the family for eight years and corresponds with them regularly. He said they were “very religious Roman Catholics.”
Wulk couldn’t say how long the family would occupy the apartments, but Wondra said it probably wouldn’t take him more than two weeks to locate the family in larger lodgings in the area.
Wondra said he hopes the fam-
ily arrives by this weekend. They have already been flown out of South Vietnam into Guam, and now must be flown to El Toro, a local marine base. From there, the family will be transferred to Camp Pendleton, where they will be released in Wondra’s care.
At one time Wondra was concerned that the family would be flown to the wrong location, but he said he now feels confident they will soon be arriving in Los Angeles.
Topping attributed the confusion in the airlifts to the state of affairs in South Vietnam, which surrendered unconditionally to North Vietnam Tuesday evening. after 30 years of fighting.
In the event of recrimination by the Communists, Wondra said the family would have faced harm because of the daughter’s affiliation with the U.S. Embassy.
Wondra, a Los Angeles County deputy probation officer, has applied for sponsorship of the family, which would make him responsible for their transition into American society.
The four to be briefly housed at the university are part of a larger group of 10 family members all traveling together. Wondra has already secured places for the other six in the homes of people he knows.
A welcoming committee of Vietnamese students at the university will be organized, Wulk said, to greet the family. Arnold McMahon, chairman of the Mar-
ried Student Housing committee, said the students will help the family adjust to life here.
The Vietnamese Students Association of the university is planning to hold a dinner to raise money for the refugees of South Vietnam, said Berthe E. Von Allmen, director of International Student Services.
The dinner will be held on May
11 at 7:30 p.m. in Town and Gown Foyer. Tickets will cost $15 per person. The dinner will be prepared by students and will feature Vietnamese food.
Local merchants are donating food, and the university will donate the use of Town and Gown Foyer, Von Allmen said.
She said two Vietnamese students have returned home to help their families leave the country. Others are very concerned with the safety of their families and would like to see their relatives join them in the United States.
Twenty-seven Vietnamese students attend the univeristy. Von Allmen said.
She said the university may temporarily accommodate another South Vietnamese family if the details can be arranged. The family is that of a student at the university, Teresa Luong, a junior in computer sciences.
The girl’s mother and two sisters are now in Guam, waiting to enter the United States. Her father and two brothers who were still in South Vietnam, at last reports, will join the others in Los Angeles.
Some units miss pay-hike supplement goal

While no academic units have reported an inability to make some savings to help finance faculty salary increases, some have been unable to generate the full amount in internal savings recommended by the university.
The university has granted an 8% to 10% faculty pay hike for 1975-76. Contracts reflecting the salary increases have been distributed in most academic units.
Of the raise, 8% will be paid from university funds and up to 2% may be generated through internal savings by each academic unit.
However, a number ofthe academic units were not able to generate the entire 2% savings recommended by the Finance and Budget Committee of the Board of Trustees to supplement the university’s 8% allocation.
The School of Engineering, for example, has reported that it can only generate 1.3% from internal savings, which will bring its compensation improvement pool to 9.3%. This was the lowest figure reported to Taylor W.
Meloan, associate vice-president for academic administration and research and chairman ofthe ad hoc committee on faculty and staff compensation.
The 2% internal savings pool was not, however, mandated by the university. In a Jan. 29 memo to vice-presidents, deans and directors concerning salary increases, Zohrab A. Kaprielian, vice-president of academic administration and research, gave administrators the option of allocating up to 2% more for salary improvement from internal funds.
“If they don’t have it within their resources, then they can’t allocate it,” said Meloan. “It was our hope and expectation that they would have the funds and be able to generate them. The concept has had widespread acceptance on campus in the past for achieving maximum faculty compensation improvement.”
The Health Sciences schools, the Institute of Safety and Systems Management and the School of Public Affairs have not distributed their faculty salary contracts.
The Health Sciences contracts are still being processed, said Meloan, and the salaries for the medical
school also hinge on county budget allocations. The contracts for faculty members ofthe School of Public Affairs have iot been completed because of unresolved budget
issues.
Under the provisions for salary compensation increases for the faculty for 1975-76, the allocations for the compensation improvement pool for each university unit would be, at a maximum, 10% ofthe salary payroll dated Dec. 26. 1974.
No minimum requirements were set as to the actual percentage that would have to be provided by each school. The only requirement was that government grants, contracts and other restricted accounts, such as gift accounts, could not be used for salary’ increases.
The College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and the School of Business Administration have generated 2.18% and 2.14%, respectively, bringing their compensation improvement pools to a total of 10.18% and 10.14%, exceeding the maximum amount recommended by the university.
